IN SABIN's HONOR.
Stillwater's Citizens Hurrah for
the Senator.

To more fully show the high esteem
in which Hon. ID. NJ. Sabin is held by
his legion of admirers in Saltwater and
also realizing the fact that in the pur-
chase yesterday of the car company's
plant, over which he is again TO have
control, the citizens. of Saltwater
turned out last night in a body and,
with colors flying, torches Illuminating
the streets for fully half mile, they
proceeded, amid wild huZZahs, to parade
the principal streets of the city. The
line of march was started about
O'Clock on North Main street, in charge
of Mayor Seymour. Business men
dropped into the lines formed, torch
in hand, and those who did not carry
a torch attested to their loyalty
to Senator Sabin by rending the air
with cries ''Hurrah for Sabin.'
Where is Stone?' We've met the
enemy and they are ours" In the pro-
cession were the TO loving Transparent
eies: Tally one for Sabin." On the
reverse was well-known face and
donkey ears. ''Ha! Ha. He! He! Ha!
Ha! He! He!'' On another was ''Who
will care for Stone now?' while the re-
verse bore the sentence, The war is
over. Saltwater whipped Chicago"
Still another contained: ''The work
ingman'S friend, Senator Sabin," and
these was an immense banner with the
words, Hail to the Chief; the Mime
sofa ThreSher Company's Chief.''
THE LINE PROCEEDED
up Main street, thence to Chestnut and
from there over the principal streets Of
the city and at last to the home of Sen
atOr Sabin. where Hon. E. w. Durant
made few brief remarks, stating that
it was turnout of the Car company
employees. and concluded by introducing
Mr.. Scovell as the spokesman of the for
mer employees. Mr.. Scovell began:
Hon. d. NJ. Sabin: 1t is with pleasure that
we, the employees of the Car company, come
here tonight to do you honor. You need not
look for any grand flight of oratory tonight
as it is not expected of us. We come to show
our appreciation of your worth. You have
shown by the interest you have to-day taken
in the Car company's affairs, as we see in
future good will and friendship to us.

Saltwater. and especially the former
employees of the Car company. wished
Mr.. Sabin all success i'm the future
prosperity and building up of the en-
terprise purchased. He was greeted
with round of applause, and as he took
his place amid the vast thrOng loud and
long were the cries Of ''Sabin!" ''Sena-
tor Sabin!'
THE SENATOR,
who had come out upon the steps of his
house, descended to the street and re-
sponded to the call as follows:
